https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Mobile/Move-to-Ireland-Stuck-in-a-loop/m-p/5391871#M310418 <P>I'm not familiar with the Irish sim card system, but if I were in the UK I'd pop along to a supermarket and look for a sim pack with the mobile number printed on the back (these are pre-allocated and don't normally need a topup to work), and grab that sim and use that number as a stopgap. In the UK some Vodafone sims are still pre-allocated (Asda too but I don't think you get the over there).</P> Mon, 12 Oct 2026 13:42:44 GMT 2metreToblerone 2026-10-12T13:42:44Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Mobile/Move-to-Ireland-Stuck-in-a-loop/m-p/5391626#M310384 <P>Hi,</P><P>I just moved to ROI. I still have a UK mobile number which I can't use to contact Sky Ireland as my service provider won't allow it. I want to buy 2 Sky SIM packages and a TV package and the Whatsapp helpdesk is telling me that I can't buy an Irish mobile number without an Irish mobile number. Anyone got a workaround please?&nbsp; &nbsp;</P> Mon, 12 Oct 2026 09:27:38 GMT https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Mobile/Move-to-Ireland-Stuck-in-a-loop/m-p/5391626#M310384 Neil_V 2026-10-12T09:27:38Z https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Sky-Mobile/Move-to-Ireland-Stuck-in-a-loop/m-p/5391871#M310418 <P>I'm not familiar with the Irish sim card system, but if I were in the UK I'd pop along to a supermarket and look for a sim pack with the mobile number printed on the back (these are pre-allocated and don't normally need a topup to work), and grab that sim and use that number as a stopgap.
